The wall with the Element of Laughter on it vanished into nothingess in response to Pinkie Pie’s necklace.

“Yay! It wuhked!” cried Pinkie. “Now we can go on twough!”

India led Pinkie and Twilight Sparkle to the end of the newly-opened corridor, where they found another door key!

“I’ll take that,” said India, grasping the door key—and levitating it—with her horn.

India and Twilight took the right turn in the corridor, and Pinkie took the left turn.

While India unlocked the next keyed door for Twilight, Pinkie unlocked the next Element of Laughter door by herself.

“All right, you two,” said India to Twilight and Pinkie. “If either of you earns another key, bring it to me A.S.A.P.! We need to release Shining Armor, and time is of the essence!”

“Quoss my heawt and hope to fwy; stick a cupcake in my eye!” answered Twilight and Pinkie in unison.

“Dat’s de Pinkie Pwomise,” explained Pinkie to India.

“Good to know!” answered India. “Now hurry!”
